Novi Sad

Instana is seeking to hire a senior software engineer to join our team for infrastructure monitoring in Novi Sad.

We are looking for a java developer that has some hands on experience with cloud services(AWS or GCloud) and container orchestration frameworks(Kubernetes). We also feel that devops engineer with good java skills would fit in this position.

Job responsibilities include experimenting, investigating and learning these technologies, being involved in making decisions how end product will look like and incorporating this solution in our product. Implementation part involves working on our agent, backend and some basic ui work in collaboration with ui team.

Agent is responsible for automatic, zero configuration, service discovery and data retrieval from various technologies. Agent needs to work under various conditions and have really low impact on customer environment. One of the main requirements is robustness and highly optimized and concurrent Java code.

Backend is a real-time analytics engine used for processing data that agents are sending. Its written with java using dropwizard, reactor and reactive streams. Some of our customers have over 1000 hosts or more than 10000 containers in their clusters. Agents send new data each second for all of our supported technologies, so the load on backend can become quite heavy.

Its important to have the ability to predict hot spots which can cause heavy burden on the system. Backend tasks at this position involve data crunching and designing and implementing detection algorithms for customer alerting.
